Best online site to purchase fish

[gmpolan]

I am looking at some fish that i have yet to see in a LFS and i understand that the colors will vary per fish and there is a risk with shipping but i wanted to see what everyone elses thoughts are. So I am just curious if i did happen to purchase something offline versus one of the LFS which one would you order from and why? live aquria? pet solutions? saltwaterfish.com?

before learning of the club i have ordered from saltwaterfish.com a couple times and always had very good luck. everything arrived alive, i too see some things that i would like to have that i haven't seen or heard of other stores having, ie jade or zebra hermits, last hermits i bought were just barely visable, very small.

What fish are you looking for? Have you asked your LFS to order them for you?

i also ordered a naso tang (sm) from them... My little guy came not looking so hot, but i tried nursing him back. I did all the proper acclimation stuff, however no luck after 5 days he died.

However, I called saltwaterfish they asked for a picture I showed them and credited my money back np... good customer service from them.

talk to the LFS, if they can't get it, I have used saltwaterfish.com, which I had good luck but have heard horror stories about also on other forums. Bluezooaquatics I have heard it good but never used them. The best bet is liveaquaria.com. They are top notch. I have used them several times

+1 on LiveAquaria. The only problem with ordering online is that if the specimen does die, you don't get your shipping back, and shipping is usually the bulk of the cost, unless you're placing a large order.

Hey, Geoff, did you decide if you wanted the Xenia or Zoas I have? PM me.

1. diver's den at liveaquaria.com
2. liveaquaria
3. blue zoo

2 week guarantee
DD is worth the extra cost imho just in the health, disease free and selection.

A good LFS will get you what you want.

Other than that:

#1 Diver's Den- simply awesome and well worth the $$
#2 Live Aquaria

I don't trust saltwaterfish.com

What's LFS? Live Fish Source....just a guess

The advantage of ordering from a LFS is that you get to see and choose the livestock before plunking down your $$$.
